OUGD602 - Visiting Bradley Metalwork Factory

After visiting Pressision printers and Evolution in Sheffield, I realised how much I learnt from understanding the production methods of a product. Therefore, I booked to go and visit Bradley Metalwork Factory to gather a better knowledge of other machines such as Plasma and Laser Cutters which I could possibly use within design in the future.

The machinery which I looked at really allowed me to get a better understanding of how metalwork could be utilised within a creative practice. Some of the painting and decoration methods used also gave me a better understanding of how paint and patterns can be applied to certain materials other than paper.

I hope to use some of these production methods in my practice within the near future.
